T45K124 A 6-week Course commencing Thursday 22nd Jan 2026.  ​​​Suitability: Gentle exercise which will generally suit most people (See more suitability details below) For this series, we will take a deeper dive into Five Element theory - one of the most important theories of traditional Chinese medicine and how it relates to Health Qigong. We will explore traditional Health Qigong practices that strengthen, balance and harmonise the Five Elements in the body, mind, heart and spirit. Starting our first Course of the year with Spring Qigong and the Wood element, we will focus on practices that help to balance and nourish in particular the Liver and Gall Bladder channels. Movement is a wonderful way of cleansing the body and clearing some winter sluggishness from the system and bring a sense of renewal and refreshment. Each movement will help enliven and smoothen the flow of energy along these pathways, helping to remove stagnation, improve circulation, and encourage a felt sense of wellbeing. Due to the meditative and slow nature of the movements, they are also of wonderful value to help balance the nervous system, focus the mind, improve clarity and ease stress and anxiety. ​6-Week Qigong Course: Venue: Glounthaune Community Centre, Glounthaune, Cork.
